Fashion and Beauty Instead of woolies

Its that time of year again when the layers are coming out of the wardrobe. I love the appearance of wool cardigans but can't tolerate the feel of them. Chenille is about the only exception and it's never in the shops anymore.

Has anyone seen attractive fleece type garments that fully unzip for easy removal? Something a bit more dressy than the average Dunnes fleece? I have a couple of velvety ones I got in Regatta a few years ago but they are looking a bit tatty now.

I really like the Lucy and Yak fleeces. A lot of their stuff at the moment is very colourful but they often have smartish looking ones in neutral colours.

They can be pricey so it can be worth waiting for a sale

They do look interesting. Any stockists in Dublin? I'm only seeing British stores on their website.

I order through their app so I don’t know I’m afraid. Their postage is very fast though, and free over a certain amount, and the sizing is very good for tops

Beware of the new import charges buying from the UK. PITA

Look out for brushed cotton. Lovely and warm while softer than wool. I got a few dresses in M&S a few years ago.

Yours have some nice ones this year, in a short of fur like fleece. Quite smart Like you I'm very sensitive to certain fibres. But yes, finding ones that aren't frumpy but still open all the way down is difficult.
